The Rav, Rabbi Joseph Baer Soloveitchick, citing the Rambam, stated a fundamental principle of Biblical exegesis--God personifies/symbolizes moral norms. In other words the sentence God did activity X symbolically means Activity X is highly moral activity.

Let us apply this principle to a number of situations
• God helps people get married; therefore helping people getting married is a highly moral activity. Gn-02-21:22 And the Lord God made Adam fall into a deep sleep, and he slept; and He took one from his ribs, and closed up the flesh. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man.
• God visits the sick; therefore visiting the sick is a highly moral activity. Gn17-26,Gn18-01 In the same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. And the Lord appeared to him in the plains of Mamre; and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
• God buries the dead; therefore burying the dead is a highly moral activity. Dt34-05:06 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-Peor; but no man knows his grave till this day.
• God performs due process before punishment--he states reasons for the punishment and respectfully allows response. Therefore due process is a highly moral activity for judges to perform. Nu12-06:09 And He said,Please Hear now my words; If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known to him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream. Not so with my servant Moses, for he is the trusted one in all my house. With him I speak mouth to mouth, manifestly, and not in dark speech; and he behold the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. In this example the underlined word Please (despite the anger mentioned later) indicates that God patiently explained the cause and allowed for a response.
